... I agree that the beginning of a new fantasy series in a new universe is really wonderful. I love a good beginning, and The Broken Crown is probably the...
... Oh my god -- this is me! And most writers hate this :D. (My Del Rey editor, on seeing me actually do this, said with a certain disgust, "don't you think...

... My husband gives me a hard time about doing this, also. But I can't seem to help it. It's just too strong a compulsion. I have to know where things are...
I have just finished reading the first three books, the re-printed by Benbella. And oh my gosh, where the heck is the fourth book? It's a crime to leave me...
Apologies in advance if this is a second post, first isn't showing up... I absolutely love these books, this series. I can't believe I haven't heard of them...
... Oh, I'm definitely anti-spoiler. I like to see how things reveal themselves, and I also like to be surprised when there's a surprise coming. I only ever...
... Me, too. And I liked Doomsday Book a lot, as well as To Say Nothing of the Dog. I think Willis does chaos which somehow all holds together particularly...
... Aha! So HOUSE WAR will start with Rath's point of view! I can hardly wait! (but I will<g>). No, for me the whole book starts with the beginning. I often...
... I'm exactly the same, and it goes for movies and TV programs, too. I'm entirely character- based in my entertainment tastes. One reason I'm not fond of...

... I don't know how it will work out, but I really like Nightshade. He reminds me of Isladar a lot, and Severn reminds me of Teller in many ways. I think...

Oh my! You haven't read Michelle's other novels, written under the Michelle West name! Go right now, I mean run! To you nearest bookstore, or go to Amazon...
... True. I was thinking more in terms of personality. ... I will have to reread, but I don't think Nightshade has her Name. He can speak to her whenever she...
